Editorial Reviews : If you need a digital camera that's more compact than the rest, try this 2.0 megapixel Cyber-shot® U. Weighing in at just 4.2 ounces and standing a little over an inch tall, this digital camera brings USB capability, a 1-inch LCD, and plenty of options to the table. Give the picture a touch of brightness using the 4-mode intelligent flash with red-eye reduction. No matter what options you use, you'll enjoy capturing pictures to save on the 8MB Memory Stick(TM).
Buyer Reviews : As you can see from some of the reviews, this camera gets great marks as something you can always carry, and shoot quickly with. (The simplicity of the camera reduces the 'shutter lag' that is so frustrating on some digicams - many digicams miss the shot you want because of a delay between when you press the shutter and when it captures the image.) With this tiny Sony, you get the benefit of the several generations of Sony design of compact digicams, and Sony's skill at miniaturizing electronics. For some, this really can be the perfect camera.
But there are some big compromises, so make sure this is what you want. There's no optical zoom, so it's harder to make the most of the somewhat limited pixel resolution by zooming in just the part of the scene you want. Lack of a viewfinder means you'll drain the battery quicker, and may have trouble seeing what's in the picture in bright sun (which washes out the LCD). And the optics and flash do suffer on a camera this small.
So think about what you need. This camera will be a dream for some. But others can get much better quality and lots of useful features - without much more size or cost - in the Sony DSC-P2 or P7.
